Hey I got a 96 talon t3 ..rigging innovations
Can anyone with one or that has had one plz tell me what size canopies they have had in it or that will fit in it safely without being to tight etc...I was hoping to fit a 135 reserve and main in but yeh its hard to find info on the t3 container..its confusing

The manual says ....

"max of 335cu in reserve and 375 cubic inch main"

So I would say 135/135 is a good combo.
You can email RI for a more credible answer ...

Also the manual I got with it is the original with matching serial number to container 8649 dom feb. 19. 1996 it says talon on container and manual not talon2.. yet the container looks exactly the same as a talon2 also the manual that is downloadable off there site says the talon2 t3 has 335res 375main volume ...yet the original manual with my container says 275res 350 main.. I read that the later talons are the same as talon2 so not sure which sizes to go off or what reserve to look for

Until RI tells you different the manual that came with it is the best reference. It may be that it is a talon2 and he hadn't rewritten the manual yet. Riggerrob on here used to build them. PM him.

Also you shouldn't be picking a reserve to fit a container you got a good deal on but picking a container that can hold the reserve appropriate for you!
